Abstract [en]

Traditional humidity sensors frequently face challenges, especially in environments with fluctuating temperatures, which can compromise their efficiency, stability, and reliability. Therefore, there is an urgent demand to fabricate low-cost and high-performance temperature-independent humidity sensors. In this work, for the first time, highly stable and reliable temperature-independent humidity sensors have been proposed based on a PEO/PVA polymer composite. Four sensors were fabricated containing weight ratios of PEO/PVA as 50:50%, 40:60%, 60:40%, and 70:30%, respectively. All of the fabricated sensors were electrically characterized at three different temperatures, 30 °C, 35 °C, and 40 °C, to investigate the impedance response. The proposed sensor based on a PEO/PVA (40:60%) composite presents a remarkable and optimized temperature-independent performance in the range of 0–60%RH. Apart from this, the response and recovery time (9 s/16 s) of the temperature-independent humidity sensor based on PEO/PVA (40:60%) were investigated. Finally, the sensor showed long-term stability for 90 days, ensuring the reliability of the proposed device. These remarkable performances of the proposed sensor based on PEO/PVA with a weight ratio of (40:60)% can open a new gateway for low-range temperature-independent humidity sensors for various real-time applications.
